⭐️ Ms. Green: Thank you for keeping the lunchroom running smoothly and for your incredible compassion!

⭐️ Ms. Hughes: You truly are the friendly face of our school! We appreciate how you welcome everyone, manage every request with a bright smile, and are always on top of everything.

Today, our kindergarten, first, and second graders officially began meeting with their Class Families, which include our wonderful students from Rogers Middle School! The groups jumped right into a book study of I Forgive Alex, practiced sharing their thinking, and engaged in a "Would You Rather" game to help everyone connect. These activities were a valuable opportunity for students to practice being effective communicators, one of the core elements of the Affton Portrait of a Graduate. We look forward to a year of building strong friendships and learning across grade levels! 💜

✨ High Five Friday ✨ Our middle schoolers greeted car riders and bus riders this morning with high fives, big smiles, and tons of positive energy. The perfect way to start the day! 🙌💜
